Until recently, the course History of Pharmacy has not been introduced in BPharm or PharmD curricula offered by pharmacy colleges, including Dubai Pharmacy College (DPC) - the first pharmacy college in the region established in 1992
Summary
The study of the history of pharmacy is deserving of consideration as a review of the past, so that we may understand the present, and be enabled to plan intelligently for the future.[1]. In the UAE, little attention is given to historical aspects of pharmacy as a standalone course in the pharmacy curriculum.[4,5,6,7] In other words, until recently, the course History of Pharmacy has not been introduced in BPharm or PharmD curricula offered by pharmacy colleges, including Dubai Pharmacy College (DPC) - the first pharmacy college in the region established in 1992. The Commission for Academic Accreditation, Ministry for Higher Education and Scientific Research, UAE; specifies in the 2011 “Standards for Licensure and Accreditation”, section that the institutions must ensure that all undergraduate students complete the equivalent of one or more university level courses in the humanities, appropriate to the program offerings.[8] In compliance, DPC designed a course titled “History of Pharmacy” in the domain of Humanities.
